Explore 13 Kinetic & Potential Energy review games designed by a teacher to engage students and reinforce curriculum. Give students a break from worksheets and bring Science review to life with a classroom game.

• FRAZZLED keeps students guessing as correct answers reveal surprise points, wrong answers can reward the other team, and bombs can wipe out a score.
• In BUMP, correct answers earn students shots at the platform, where they can score even more points by bumping off opposing teams.
• GRUDGEBALL turns review into a battle where correct answers earn cannon shots to sink opposing teams before they sink you.
• The TERRIBLE Game makes review wonderfully terrible as teams answer questions, uncover unpredictable scores, and use positive and negative points to get closest to zero.
• Get students moving with SCOOT, where they travel from desk to desk answering task cards and recording their answers along the way.
• Turn review into a team competition with TRASHKETBALL™, where students answer questions, earn shots, and try to outscore the other teams.
• Turn review into an unpredictable whole-class competition with The BIG TERRIBLE Game, where every answer can send a team’s score in the right or wrong direction.

Review works a lot better when students actually want to participate, and games give them a reason to jump in. Once the game starts, students start talking, thinking, and working together, with hands shooting up and everyone waiting to see what happens next. Just like a team practices before a big game, students who know another review game is coming have a reason to prepare, because this time they really want to win.
